6w6d and the line is a lot lighter? Should I be worried?

Question

I admit I am a POAS-aholic. I took about 7 tests the week I got my BFP and have taken it every week since, they've been getting darker and darker. Took one this morning and it's lighter than it's ever been causing me worry.

I've already had a transvaginal ultrasound at 4w2d with a positive. And I have another dr appt on Wed to hear the heartbeat.

Should I be concerned with this lighter line result?? 😨

Answer

Google 'the hook effect ', then dilute your urine and do another test - the test lines will get darker the more you dilute.  The tests just don't cope well with high hcg levels because they're designed for getting results as early as possible.  Too much hcg overloads them.

Answer

I think after so long the hormone level is just so high the tests aren't able to handle it.

Answer

I think you shouldn't be worried. You dont want to cause yourself stress and be thinking about it too much. Be happy and be calm. You'll be good. If you arent experiencing any physical signs that yield a miscarriage then you shouldn't be overthinking about it. Good luck!

Answer

Your hcg will double and double until it plateaus. Pregnancy tests are not meant to continuously be used like this. You will just worry yourself. My advice: skip out on buying tests And go shop for something fun for yourself or the baby! Everything will be ok!

Answer

Oh and I have yet to experience morning sickness or nausea.... lots of fatigue and breasts are extremely sore tho!
